The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of one who is unable

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks, saying: Is it permissible to perform Hajj on his behalf?

Answer:
If he has not performed the obligatory Hajj and is unable to do so personally because he cannot travel or ride, then you perform the obligatory Hajj on his behalf. There is a hadith of a woman who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "My father reached the age of the obligation of Hajj, but he is unable to stay on the mount. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said, "Perform Hajj on behalf of your father." However, if he is able to travel, he is required to perform Hajj himself to fulfill the obligation.
